Houghton has grown up and around its early mining sites, obscuring them from view. Remnants of the old Isle Royale Mining Company and the Houghton County streetcar operations have been absorbed into the modern city-scape, hidden, but still traceable if you know where to look.

These half-day tours examine the social history of Calumet and Laurium. Look at life outside of work; including church,
recreation, and housing. Even these tangents were touched by the paternalism of a company town, with all of its attendant benefits and eventual conflict.
